Drop off your styrofoam any Monday – Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. While you are there, pick up a cup of coffee and a sandwich. The Fresh Start Market has lots of great handmade items that make perfect gifts!

They accept clean (no stickers or tape) styrofoam that snaps when folded. Colored foam is ok too, but not if it bends without snapping. Construction related foam & foam that bends without snapping is not able to be recycled. Meat trays, egg cartons, coffee cups & takeout containers are not able to be recycled.

The Fresh Start Market does not accept styrofoam peanuts, but most mailing stores accept them for free if they are clean and dry. For a complete list, type in the word "peanuts" in our recycling guide.
